On Thursday & Friday January 27-28 2022 from 9am-1pm AST (13:00-17:00 UTC) the sixth Trinidad and Tobago Internet Governance Forum (TTIGF) will be held online.

On Monday 17 January 2022 at 12:30 UTC the Internet Governance Forum will host a ‘Roundtable on Teaching Internet Governance‘. Building on past and ongoing educational and training efforts, such as the summer schools on Internet governance, this round-table aims to engage with the multitude of approaches and formats of teaching Internet governance in academia, Internet governance summer schools, and specialized online Internet governance programs. Anybody who is involved with teaching and learning Internet governance is invited to join the conversation, which will inform the development of a modular syllabus that will allow others around the world to design their own Internet governance courses, summer schools, and other capacity building programs.
The Global Pandemic has now impacted our daily lives for a longer time than most of us would have imagined a year ago. In 2020, the Coalition’s Session was entitled: “Internet in Crisis Management and Renewal” – and this Crisis has continued to be the past year’s “new normal”. The Internet’s impact has increased dramatically in all aspects of everyone’s lives. Technically, it has coped well with this increased use, but there have also been calls for increased control and regulation.
The DC on Core Internet Values will discuss these developments and these calls for regulation — and explore whether these break Core Internet Values – including a comparison with the 6F Framework.
